Edsel Pacer

The Pacer was a car marketed by the ill-fated Edsel brand in the fifties. The brand was plagued with problems. They were too large, were un-economical, were too expensive, and were ugly. This led to the brand's discontinuation. Edsel had been introduced in memory of the son of Henry Ford. The Pacer competed in NASCAR. In an interesting coincidence, the Pacer name was used later on an infamous American Motors model.
